Read full description
See what kind of mushroom you may have found — and learn which details matter.
Mushroom Identifier: SporeLens uses image models to analyze a photo and suggest a likely match. Take a new picture or choose one from your library, then explore names, identifying features, habitat, taxonomy, distribution and possible look-alikes in one clear identification card.
IDENTIFY FROM A PHOTO
• Take a mushroom photo with your camera or choose an existing image.
• Receive a likely common name and scientific name.
• See a confidence indicator and a prompt for another photo when the match is uncertain.
EXPLORE THE DETAILS
Each identification can include:
• Description, alternative names and family
• Habitat, season, substrate and host trees
• Cap, underside, stem, flesh, spore print, size, odor and taste
• Scientific classification from kingdom to species
• Geographic range, climate, elevation and commonness
• Edibility notes and possible look-alikes with distinguishing features
SEE WHAT MAY BE IN SEASON
Use Season Radar to explore mushrooms that may be active near you right now. Results are based on nearby observations, the time of year and recent weather conditions. Check likely species, seasonal activity and the areas where they have recently been observed.
BUILD YOUR FIELD GALLERY
Save finds to your personal gallery and revisit them whenever you want. Keep the original photo together with the identification, delete finds you no longer need and share discoveries with other mushroom enthusiasts.
SAVE YOUR FIND LOCATIONS
Add a location to a saved find and view your discoveries on a private map. Build a personal record of where you found each mushroom and return to those places later. Location access is requested only when you use a feature that needs it and is never used in the background.

2. Let the models analyze the visible characteristics.
3. Review the suggested match and detailed species card.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Identifications and all related information are generated by AI and may be inaccurate or wrong. This app is an educational identification aid, not a test of edibility and not medical, foraging or professional advice. Never eat a wild mushroom based only on an app result. Always consult a qualified local mycologist or other appropriate expert before making safety decisions.
